"Derek Broughton" wrote in message ... Hmmm. I have a reef tank, and everything I've ever read about protein skimmers (I have two different ones) says that they don't work with fresh water. I haven't actually attempted to use one this way so I am just going by what I have read. Something about the surface tension being to low in freshwater. Now, if the water was really fouled up, it might work for a while. Everything you will read about protein skimmers says they're not nearly as effective in fresh water. That doesn't mean they don't work. Think about it. We've all seen foam at the bottom of water falls - often in cleaner water than we have in our ponds. Steve Meyer, who wrote about pond fish for years in AFM magazine swears by them for ponds. -- derek |
